On the road Shop Shark O Joined: Aug 2002 Posts: 455 CA Mountain Desert	With an open driveline and your later rear, can't you go higher than 3.55 ? I think the open driveline rears had an optional 3.38? Around 3 would be like a freeway gear with a 1:1 tranny and still alright with your 235 for city driving. On the road every day... 1952 Truck - 235 1948 Coupe - 261
